Names for the Daily Post, Two

Posted in the Daily Post: Names

What’s in a name?
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
William Shakespeare

Names 

Took it out from a handbag
My printed name, on a tag
Put on the wall, just as a gag

Ochre on White

The snow came
What a pain
But for me, only a stain
I am persistent
Even magnificent
I may be dull and dreary
But this snow may fear me
So just hear me
Because I will be here
When the snow is gone!

Bird in a Dire

It’s not a bird, on a wire
It tried hard, to get higher
But now, It’s just a bird, in dire
Sitting on that rock
For hours on end
Possibly in shock
Resilience not well spent
The bird now desperately sings

“Hey bird, just flap your wings
And fly away
Or you’ll end up someone’s prey”

 Red on White

“They boarded the air
I told ’em, it wasn’t fair
But instead, of growing angrier
I grew, even more stronger
Even changed my colours
So now, here on this fence
I sit and holler!

Red on Blue

Here we are, so resilient
And utterly, quite brilliant
The wind blows
It only us slows
Hanging on
Even though,
The rest will be gone

Paths for the Daily Post (two)

Posted in the Daily Post: Path: Photography /Poetry /Humour

“Do not go where the path may lead,
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Paths 

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently down the path
If the bike should break down
Don’t get a frown
Put up your thumb
It won’t get numb
And just start to hitchhike

In your brand new car
Follow each and every path
Like they were the last
